During the last two years, StopWaste has been working with Memorial Tabernacle Church in North Oakland and their Youth Going Green (YGG) Program to help spread the word about the importance of composting, recycling, and energy efficiency programs. We are excited to share the series of tutorial videos we made with their help.

This forum, held on September 15, 2015 at StopWaste, provided an overview of the WELO update. Local governments also shared information about what is being done to address water conservation at civic facilities and in policies affecting development.
